See the link below for the shade of blue ('semantic - blue') we will be using on our website; we will be using this template. Ok to use other colors from this template webpage.

Hi WheresYourBall,

Here's my entry.

Scans, imaging, layers... brain...

Feedback is appreciated.

[WheresYourBall]

Right direction, thanks for submitting this idea.

I like the text "SDNS" and the wording underneath; the logo could use some refinement. It's difficult to tell the logo is a brain shape.

I'd prefer to have fewer colors in the logo.

[onesummer]

my first. thanks.

[WheresYourBall]

This is on the right track. We don't necessarily need the letters "SDNS" incorporated into the logo; maybe you could give me examples of a logo without "SDNS"?

Brain image and abstract MRI / doctors spinning in active discussion on the topic of the brain.

Intrepidguppy - I like the colors, the font, and the brain logo. Could you give the "brain" a bit more detail so I can see what that looks like?

Overall I like this logo. We want a simple, recognizable symbol with meaning. We are open to square and round logos as well.

This is on the right track. We don't necessarily need the letters "SDNS" incorporated into the logo; maybe you could give me examples of a logo without "SDNS"?

here's a revision with the text written out as requested. i also made a couple tweaks to the symbol to make the brain slightly more apparent. thanks.

Hi WheresYourBall,

Here's my second approach.

Feedback is appreciated.

[WheresYourBall]

I'd like to see some logos without the "SDNS" lettering.

Guetizo - I like this 2nd effort better than the 1st. I'm still not crazy about the choice of colors. I'd like the logo to be very simple. I'd prefer a more modern font for the text.

RockStarNeil - Good logo, I like the color selection. Could you give us a similar design without the "SDNS" letters?

OneSummer - I'd like the "brain" to be simpler. I think the text looks good, but I'd like to see it with some different font options. Maybe make the rings a different color of blue rather than orange.

Thanks all

[RockStarNeil]

Revisions:
-"SDNS" initials removed
-Multiple brain images to represent MRI scans

[WheresYourBall]

RockStarNeil - Looks pretty good. The brain looks a little blurred, possibly due to the 2 shades of blue. Looking at the image in B/W, it seems cleaner. I there some way to alter the image of the brain so it's simpler, less blurred in color? I like the from-the-side angle of the brain coming out of the tube.

[RockStarNeil]

Thanks for your feedback. Based on what you said, I have tried these minor modifications:

A. Changing the order of the colors used for the brains
B. Having only 1 brain as opposed to 3 brains

Let me know what you think. If you have any other changes you would like me to do, please just ask!

[WheresYourBall]

RockStarNeil - A does look better. Could you show me a few different fonts for the text?

[RockStarNeil]

Absolutely!
I tried a couple sans-serif fonts this time.
Is this more to your liking?

[WheresYourBall]

RockStarNeil - The middle font is the best out of the 3, but still I'd like to see a more modern font, perhaps something like OneSummer's second try above. Capitlization of NEUROLOGY SOCIETY might look good.

[RockStarNeil]

Some more fonts for consideration:

[WheresYourBall]

Rockstarneil - Looking better. What about using a solid color for the tex, rather than the faded-at-the-bottom look?
